Chapter 9, please give me a smile.

Li Xuan immediately frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Yang Zhen coldly smirked without expression and said, "I don't think you're pretty, I just think you're a bit shameless."

The young men didn't mind and continued to playfully tease: "No wonder you enjoy being the one to suffer, isn't it strange? Now I understand why this girl's cold attitude is so captivating!"

She couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth with a "puff", but quickly resumed her expressionless face. When she looked up again, she saw Li Xuan staring at her blankly.

Li Xuan blinked his eyes and said, "Everyone says you might have facial paralysis, so I asked someone to bring back various facial paralysis medicines from all over the world. Why don't you try them one by one..." As Li Xuan spoke, he shook the large package in his hand, and Yang Zhen saw that it was really filled with all kinds of medicines.

Yang Zhen didn't care: "I thought that most good-looking overseas returnees went abroad because they couldn't get into domestic universities, and they don't have much ability."

Yang Zhen smiled twice without showing any teeth and said, "Stop kidding around. You're pretending to be the son of a CEO again. If you do that, then I might as well pretend to be the CEO's mistress!"

Li Xuan sneered, "I don't believe my warm face won't stick to your cold butt!"

Yang looked puzzled and said, "I didn't insult your father, I was clearly insulting you!"

Li Xuan, who has always been cold and expressionless towards Yang Zhen, finally erupted this time.

Yang Zhen's hand, supporting his forehead, trembled: "Alright, I'll go."

This project is actually difficult to discuss. When Yang Zhen came, he was already prepared for a 50% chance of success or failure. However, after some twists and turns, Li Xuan unexpectedly successfully negotiated the project without any obstacles.

The stimulation you have experienced turned out to be emotional injury.

After two months of Li Xuan's employment, Yang Zhen received a project. She planned to bring Li Xuan along to gain some practical experience while discussing the details of the contract.

Yang Zhen stared at him, "When did you follow? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Xuan threw a Porsche car key onto the table, placed the Hermès wallet he was holding onto the table, raised his arm and rested it on Yang Zhen's shoulder. Coincidentally, the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist was exposed.

Recently, Li Xuan has suddenly become very melancholic. He kept nagging Yang Zhen: "Yang Zhen, haven't you always been doing acupuncture? When will your facial paralysis get better? Or should I take you to see a doctor again? My ancestors were the kind of imperial court physicians!"

Yang Zhen asked, "Why are you more anxious than me?"

What a stimulating thing?

As soon as Yang Zhengang got off the car, he received a phone call from his mother, who scolded him severely over the phone: "You wasteful child, if you don't want to go on a blind date, just forget it. Why did you have to make the man so angry? Do you want to kill me with anger..."

Li Xuan wears luxury brands every day to work. Yang Zhen feels that it is quite extravagant and flamboyant for someone with his low-level employee status to dress in such a manner. It's a bit of a slap in the face for the manager who worked hard for many years to finally afford an Armani suit.

Li Xuan said, "If you don't come, I will put medicine in your lunch!"

Li Xuan gritted his teeth angrily at her.

Yang Zhen was stunned again, unexpectedly, it was this money-scented dandy who came to the rescue at a critical moment.

Li Xuan felt extremely embarrassed: "Damn it!"

Yang Mama's loud voice: "Are you stupid? Why can't you understand? He has treated you like that, do you still want to wait for him to come back?"

Yang Zhen put down her wine glass with satisfaction, relaxed her hand, and sat back in her original position as if nothing had happened. She continued playing with her phone calmly, without any expression on her face, as if she were an emotionless robot. The onlookers were all stunned by her composure.

Yang Zhen remained calm and said, "I won't go."

Yang Zhen hummed, "Is it really that important whether I smile or not?"

From the day after his birthday, Li Xuan started to pester Yang Zhen relentlessly. His specific approach made Yang Zhen scoff and sneer. Li Xuan would bother Yang Zhen incessantly every day, saying, "I'm organizing a gathering tonight, will you give me face? If you don't give me face, I'll smash the windows of your house every day!"

Yang Zhen squinted and glanced at him sideways, saying, "How are you going to treat me, by massaging my face?"

Li Xuan kicked the young men in the leg and said, "Get lost! Are you blind? I clearly rely on my looks!"

Yang Zhen still had a numb and expressionless face as she faced him, saying, "Master Li, was your elementary school Chinese textbook a romance novel?" After saying that, she lifted Li Xuan's arm and walked back to the office.

Yang Zhen opened the wallet and said, "Throw it here."

Li Xuan angrily picked up the car keys: "If I take you home later, I'll be a pig!"

Yang Zhen told him, "My home is on the twentieth floor. Practice your arm strength well. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Xuan only had time to educate the boys with the phrase "get lost", when he suddenly saw the person "whoosh" disappear from his side. When he turned his head, he saw the boys being held by the neck and pinned to the back of the sofa by Yang Zhen. Her cold and expressionless face looked like a terrifying black widow in the dimly lit private room.

Yang Zhen didn't believe it. He completed the transaction with arrogance and pride, without even looking at him.

Li Xuan provocatively taunted her, "I told you earlier, not that I didn't believe you, if you had listened to me and bought shares and invested in industries, you might have already transformed from a peasant to a wealthy woman!"

4.

The boys rubbed their necks and ran to Li Xuan, crying out in grievance, "What kind of monster did you bring here!"

Li Xuan nodded eagerly.

Yang Zhen rubbed her forehead and said, "She's such a talkative old lady!" She grabbed her phone and opened WeChat Moments, where she saw a selfie posted by Yang's mother late last night. In the photo, her eyes were also red, and the accompanying text read, "I had a great chat with my future son-in-law all night. It was worth staying up even if my eyes turned red!"

Li Xuan looked at his own flung-open arms, somewhat uncertain whether Yang Zhen would cooperate with him, until Yang Zhen spoke, he almost couldn't help but cheer for her quick immersion into the role.

Yang Zhen's obsession with stock trading and her expertise in losing money were quickly discovered by Li Xuan. When Li Xuan saw Yang Zhen ruthlessly filling in stock codes and planning to make another investment, he couldn't bear it any longer and intervened to stop her.

Yang Zhenchong chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, he just left three months ago."

Yang Zhen couldn't help but change the subject.

Li Xuan replied gloomily, "28th floor."

The man who is meeting his potential partner across from him has sweat beads on his forehead, and it's unclear what kind of feeling it is.

Yang Zhen supported his forehead and said to Li Xuan: "Alright, you win! Congratulations on defeating the money-minded middle-aged woman!"

Yang Zhen suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Li Xuan, saying, "Recommend two more to me, quickly."

Yang Zhen's forehead knocked on the table, the back of his head facing the sky. He raised his hand and pointed at the computer screen, where it clearly showed that the two stocks recommended by Li Xuan were skyrocketing like they had taken gunpowder.

Yang Zhen remained calm and said, "The answer sheet for the CET-4 exam can be guessed."

Yang Zhen snorted and said, "I already told you that what the old lady in my family said is unreliable, but you insisted on not listening."

Li Xuan gritted his teeth angrily at her.

After much consideration, Yang Zhen asked a colleague for a discarded electric fan and placed it by the bedside to blow continuously throughout the night. She slept like this for half a month. After half a month, one of her stocks finally recovered, and Yang Zhen finally had enough money to buy a new air conditioner. On the second day of the air conditioner being installed, Yang Zhen was so excited that she almost went to the temple to thank the gods. Over the past half month, she had been tormented by the electric fan.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, digesting the information.

Li Xuan chuckled and said, "I can tell that boasting is really tax-free! Here's the deal, if you really don't want to laugh, that's fine. But if you make money, and I organize another event, you have to give me face and come participate!"

Li Xuan gritted his teeth angrily and said, "You just wait!"

Yang Zhen glanced at him and said, "Then I will put cockroach poison in your lunch."

Yang Zhen glanced at him and said, "Did my mother tell you?"

Yang Zhen took the deafening phone away from his ear and reached behind with one hand to snatch it away.

He interned at the company, accompanied by a cold and aloof woman. He was very unhappy and threatened, "Believe it or not, I'll use money to smash you to death." She replied, "I believe you. Open your wallet and throw it here." He went crazy and asked, "Where is your humanity?" She looked at him sideways and said, "It's on my feet. Do you want to taste it?" He was so angry that his liver hurt. Soon, his identity as a prince was exposed. He sneered at her and said, "Are you scared now?" She thought for a moment and said, "I'll resign." He slammed the table and shouted, "No way! I have to torture you for the rest of your life to vent my anger!"

Yang held his neck and told him, "No, I want to strangle you. I heard that you have been asking around about what has stimulated me."

Yang Zhen coldly asked the young men, "Who did you just say has a big butt?"

One week later, the manager came to everyone and said, "The successor to the CEO is coming to take over. He will visit each department for inspection shortly. Let's all be prepared!"

His voice attracted his colleagues' ambiguous and flirtatious gazes.

Yang Zhen took off one of his shoes and raised his foot, saying, "Do you want to smell it?"

Two days later, Li Xuan came back from the toilet and unexpectedly saw Yang Zhen knocking his head on the table. He went up and asked, "Who are you knocking your head for? Doesn't it hurt?"

Yang looked at his back and felt that he was fortunate enough to witness a rare flower in the world.

Ever since witnessing Yang Zhen's twitching mouth, Li Xuan has been buzzing around her like a little fly, day in and day out. "I must prove to the world that you can smile!" This is his resolute declaration.

In the evening, Yang Zhen reluctantly arrived at the blind date location. The blind date man was the son of the neighbor of Yang's mother's colleague's second aunt's cousin. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Zhen could tell that he was a seasoned straight male chauvinist, and every sentence he uttered was filled with deep meaning of male supremacy.

8.

The next day at work, Li Xuan's eyes were bloodshot. Yang Zhen glanced at him and asked, "Are you okay?" Before Li Xuan could even be touched, Yang Zhen coldly threw out the second half of the sentence, "If you have conjunctivitis, don't come to work and infect me."

She had just arrived at the company when the manager called her into the office. Glancing around, she noticed a handsome young man in the office. The manager informed her that this young man, named Li Xuan, was a newcomer. While most of her colleagues were already assigned to mentor new employees, she was the only one left idle. Therefore, her task had arrived - she was to mentor Li Xuan.

Her phone "dinged" after a while, and she was shocked to find out that her mother had added her and Li Xuan to a group and sent a message: "Oops, I accidentally saw my son-in-law's car, it's really nice! Xuan Xuan, you should take good care of Zhen Zhen!"

Yang Zhen patted his shoulder to calm him down: "We've only been together for a little over two months, how much emotion could there be, don't you think?"

Yang Zhen opened the drawer and took out a bag of leftover powerful cockroach repellent distributed by the company's logistics department and threw it over, saying, "You're welcome."

Yang Zhen squinted his eyes and asked, "What year were you born?"

During lunch break, Yang was sleeping soundly. The front desk of the building called her to inform that someone was looking for her. She went downstairs with a disgruntled expression and didn't notice that she was being followed by a tail. When she arrived downstairs, she was surprised to find that the person looking for her was her ex-boyfriend, Hu Yang.

Hu Yang looked aggrievedly and said, "Just give me a smile and I'll leave!"

Li Xuan came out from behind the big pillar next to him, looking utterly bewildered.

Li Xuan gave her a disdainful look and turned to the Americans. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and a fluent string of American English came out from under his tongue, running and jumping.

Yang Zhen raised his hand to support his forehead: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Li Xuan is very sociable. His favorite phrase is "Tonight I'll organize a gathering, let's all have fun together." His colleagues are drawn to him because of his generous nature and willingness to spend money. Only Yang Zhen always wears an expressionless face and coldly rejects him.

Yang Zhen patted his head like patting a puppy: "Good boy, I will consider hiring you back home to deal with my mom before the Spring Festival."

Yang Zhen disapproves: "Besides being heartless, I still have face and skin. How does it bother you?"

Yang Zhen waited for a long time with a tired expression, finally seeing a large group of people surrounding a familiar figure moving towards her. She looked up and couldn't help but feel that life is truly like a play. That guy, who she hadn't seen for a few days, seemed like a completely different person. His face was serious, and he walked with confidence, exuding the aura of a future entrepreneur. She turned her head and noticed that everyone was stunned.

A few days later, Li Xuan told Yang Zhen, "I really have to go!"

The guys are making up for it: "You're just a money-grubbing pretty boy, she's the real deal!"

Yang Zhen tugged at her hair and said, "You misunderstood me. I meant that it wasn't something that happened to me when I was a child, but rather something that happened when I grew up."

Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and said "okay".

Li Xuan looked at him with disdain and said, "You despicable person!"

So on a beautiful morning, she directly grabbed Li Xuan, who had just stepped into the company's gate, and pinned him against a deserted corner. Li Xuan, holding a big bag, foolishly asked, "What are you doing? Do you want to press me against the wall?"

Yang Zhen sneered again: "Are you a member of the company? Are you working for your own company or for me? It is not right to expect rewards for doing nothing. If the president knew that the company had such shameless employees like you, he would be extremely furious."

Li Xuan exhaled through his nostrils and said, "You are a heartless and cold-blooded animal!"

Yang Zhen felt a little unlucky this summer. In the scorching heat, the air conditioner broke down mercilessly. When she called someone to fix it, the technician said, "You should find someone who fixes rockets. Maybe they can repair it." So she had to buy a new one. But unfortunately, Yang Zhen had all her cash tied up in stocks. Not to mention the air conditioner, now she can hardly afford a family bucket.

2.

Yang Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "I went to see the famous doctor you recommended, and my facial paralysis was cured in just one week."

Li Xuan slammed the table: "Can't you just have a proper relationship with me?!"

Li Xuan grabbed his wallet from the table and took out a black card from it, throwing it on the table: "If you really love me, you should accept it! As long as you are willing to accept it, I can even kneel down for you!" He acted like a despicable person, almost breaking Yang Zhen's composure. The blind date man sitting across from her couldn't hold back anymore, pounding the table and pointing at Yang Zhen, "You, you, you," several times before finally managing to speak coherently, "You are so fickle, just wait for me to go back and tell your mother!" After saying that, he got up and left.

5.

In the afternoon, the stock that Yang Zhen bought really plummeted and was suspended from trading.

Yang Zhen calmly said in a cool tone, "Then you give me some medicine that can cure my illness, and I will smile at you like a lovesick person every day."

Huyang immediately greeted her with excitement on his face when he saw her, saying "Zhenzhen!"

Yang Zhen tightened the hand around his neck and said, "So you still have the nerve to call me sister and act like a child?"

Li Xuan stopped her self-harming behavior and said, "Your mother told me that ever since that man abandoned you to go abroad, you haven't laughed happily like before, as if you had facial paralysis!"

Xuan scolded her and made faces, "What happened to the injury you suffered?"

Li Xuan was shocked: "So your condition is quite serious, your facial paralysis seems to have been for several years!"

Upon Yang's return to the air-conditioned room, she felt relieved that her bad luck had finally come to an end. However, her manager easily shattered her beautiful dream.

As a result, Li Xuan drove the car and finally sent Yang Zhen home.

Li Xuan couldn't stand the way his mother acted and disdainfully pushed her away, saying "I know how to deal with you now! I'll use this trick on you in the future too!"

After steaming the eye mask for a while, Li Xuan smugly approached and slyly said to Yang Zhen, "I already know!"

Li Xuan couldn't grasp the main point and became happy: "So you also think I look good, right? That's great, I think so too!"

Yang Zhen didn't even look at him and said, "Thank you, but I don't need it. I have enough money recently."

Yang Zhen sighed, took out a folder from the table, and without looking back, flicked his wrist and slapped the folder on Li Xuan's face. In the following days, Yang Zhen felt that the atmosphere in the company was a bit strange, and the instigator was Li Xuan.

The boys were stunned, and Li Xuan and others involuntarily shrank their necks together.

Why do you have such a cold and twisted demeanor?

Li Xuan asked her on the side, "What are you doing?"

The young men looked at her with horror as she held a full cup of wine, coughing even harder in fear, looking almost like they were about to cry: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Beautiful lady, please spare me!"

The young men shyly said, "Like, like Xuanyuan..."

Yang asked casually, "Where are you going?"

Yang Zhen put down the teacup and looked up, before she could speak, someone "rubbed" against her. She looked closely and found that it was actually Li Xuan.

Yang Zhen looked at him, and his expressionless face reached its extreme: "My plastic surgery failed, I have facial paralysis, I can't smile."

Yang Zhen thought that at most it was just a phrase used to vent one's anger, but she didn't expect that from this day on, Li Xuan would really persistently argue with her about it.

Li Xuan hesitated and said, "I want to eat the things here..."

Li Xuan said, "No problem," and then looked at Yang Zhen with a puzzled expression, wondering, "I, such a handsome guy, am pinning you against the wall, yet you still have no expression on your face? Do you really have no girlish heart at all? Do I have to use a killer move to give you a princess hug?"

Yang Zhenyi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't talk to you."

Li Xuan grabbed her arm and started shaking it: "Don't fish for him, fish for me! I also have money, my own car is better than this one!"

Li Xuan threw the big bag excitedly and grabbed her shoulders, saying, "Damn it! You can actually smile! And you look so..." He swallowed his saliva and said, "Beautiful!"

Yang Zhen immediately said, "I have decided to give up treatment if it will keep you unhappy in the long term."

Li Xuan instantly flipped the table: "Yang Zhen, you poker-faced person! You are blatantly playing with me!"

Yang Zhen frowned and said, "Hu Yang, be good and don't make a scene. Everyone in the company is watching. Later, I will introduce you to my friend abroad. She is prettier than me and has more facial expressions. You will definitely like her."

It is strange that, although Yang Zhen initially treated the boys violently, afterwards the boys kept finding opportunities to inexplicably gather around Yang Zhen.

In the evening, the group gathered at the KTV. Apart from Yang Zhen, everyone else, introduced by Li Xuan, surprisingly turned out to be wealthy second-generation young men who exuded the scent of money. One of them, suspected of having ADHD, bounced over to Li Xuan as soon as he entered the room. While nudging and winking mischievously, he said, "Bro, you've developed a taste for bigger things lately. Little Sweetie doesn't interest you anymore, so you've started playing hot and cold!"

Li Xuan recommended two stocks to her.

After one month of joining the company, Li Xuan coincidentally had his birthday. He organized a lively and bustling gathering and eagerly invited Yang Zhen to join. Unfortunately, Yang Zhen had mistakenly invested all his funds in stocks, leaving only the words "truly miserable" in his account. He had no mood to indulge in food and drinks, so he coldly rejected Li Xuan's invitation once again.

Li Xuan looked sincere and said, "Really, really, I also have money. My father is Li Cansheng!"

Li Xuan was at a loss for words. He couldn't understand why he, who was usually so eloquent, couldn't win an argument against this cold and expressionless woman.

Yang Zhen squinted at him and said, "Then how should I treat you?"

Li Xuan felt the anger of being humiliated and immediately fought back, saying, "Did you buy your university diploma? Isn't it required to pass the English Level 4 exam to graduate in China? With your level, you probably just barely passed Level 1!"

Mother Yang's voice on the phone was loud, and Li Xuan next to her listened carefully with his ear pressed against it. "Are you going to go on a blind date tonight or not?!"

The partner is an American. Since graduating, Yang Zhen has wholeheartedly returned to the teacher. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting, she specifically invited the company's translator. Who knew that the translator suddenly had a stomachache and rushed to the restroom after introducing the meeting participants.

Li Xuan was so angry that she was breathing heavily. Suddenly, something was slapped onto her face - it was a steam eye mask thrown by Yang Zhen. Li Xuan immediately calmed down and felt overjoyed.

I told you I don't want your black card, but you insisted on giving it to me. I don't want to do something I don't want to do. You forced me, so I had to go out and look for a man who wouldn't force me to accept the black card by going on blind dates.

Yang Zhen blinked and said, "Alright, I will resign as agreed!"

Li Xuan widened his eyes in a round shape and said, "Don't even think about it! As long as I'm here, you better stay here and be my president's sweetheart!"

Yang Zhen pulled out the car keys and said, "The props are quite complete."

Li Xuan proudly said, "Mrs. Yang wants to see if we are a good match or not!"

Hu Yang's indignation: "Is my significance in your heart unable to withstand even the 26 letters?"

As Yang Zhen made money from stocks, Li Xuan appeared even happier than she did. He blocked Yang Zhen's way to the restroom, eagerly pressing her against the wall as she just came out of the bathroom, excitedly saying, "To celebrate your earnings, I've decided to host a gathering tonight. You must keep your promise and come!"

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and had only two words in his mind: "Ha Ha".

Li Xuan said to Yang Zhen, "If you want me to continue recommending good stocks to you, you must always speak to me in a polite manner. Otherwise, I will cut off your financial path!"

9.

Yang Zhen glanced at the cuff of Li Xuan's sleeve, then lifted his hand and threw Li Xuan's arm onto the table. Coincidentally, the canary diamond cufflink on Li Xuan's cuff was also exposed...

Li Xuan looked furious and said, "Don't insult my father!"

Li Xuan stood in place, rubbing his arms with a grimace on his face. "This spendthrift girl really has a strong grip..."

The young men were resolute: "No, you can't do it, you don't have her strength!"

Yang Zhen kept knocking and saying, "My mother is beyond saving, beyond saving!"

Li Xuan threw a flirtatious glance at Yang Zhen and said, "Darling, just because we had a little argument, you actually went out for a blind date. Are you trying to torture me, you little demon!"

Yang Zhen sprayed out a mouthful of water and said, "Isn't that where the president and vice president stay? What are you doing there?"

1.

Yang Zhen didn't say a word, but just flew a folder directly and slapped it on Li Xuan's face.

Yang Zhen almost burst out laughing: "You're saying the CEO is your dad? Oh, so you work in our company, and your dad is Li Cansheng? I see, it's all about having connections. But if you were to work in another company, would the CEO of that company also be your dad?"

Li Xuan took a deep breath and asked, "Did you experience any kind of stimulation when you were a child?"

Li Xuan answered evasively: "This is the first time I've seen you not resist at all when being oppressed by a woman!"

Facing the foreign faces full of inquiries, Yang was at a loss. Among the questioning sentences, she only understood one sentence with great difficulty: "Where is the translator? When do we start the meeting?" When she was feeling anxious, Li Xuan poked her and said, "You are really something. At this point, you can still keep a deadpan expression like a fish. Are you calm or do you have facial paralysis?"

Translated Result

Yang Zhen squinted his eyes and asked, "Is there a conclusion?"

Li Xuan shook his head: "I didn't say anything, but I estimate that, judging from your condition, it will take at least one or two years!"

6.

Yang Zhen couldn't help but let out a long string of cold laughter.

Li Xuan looked proud: "Don't be so careless with my personal information, I am a returned overseas student, okay!"
